Prediction: As part of the acquisition, there’ll be a due diligence, in which Elon Musk will audit the fake users. The audit will show Twitter users and engagement numbers are inflated with bots… by a lot. That will trigger a lawsuit on Twitter manipulating numbers for higher valuation. That’s a financial crime, and the SEC will be involved. The responsible for the inflated stock price will be sued, possibly arrested, for fraud (Jack, Parag, board of directors, CFO, other top execs, tech leads responsible for the manipulation algorithms). The audit will also reveal government involvement in directing those censoring actions (1st Amendment violation), illegal surveillance (4th Amendment violation), and electoral manipulation. Twitter stock will tank, and Elon may be entitled to a discount (write off). It might be cheap enough for DWAC to buy and incorporate the assets. Mostly my speculation, but I think a write off due to inflated numbers is likely.
Prediction: Elon will get a discount
👀 EYES ON! 👀
Damn, that's some good thinking there. We know there are a great many bots. The fact that all the blue checks were mentioned losing many thousands of followers instantly, is perhaps proof they were just bot accounts.
"All those moments, will be lost in time, like tears in rain"...
Fabulous assessment - also remember; how does information get ‘legally’ entered.....?
Yep! Good ol' method to introduce evidence!
Knowingly. 💥
LOL!
It's been an open secret for years that social media managers purchase engagement and manipulate the algorithms with bots.
Hell, I just did a search and found this article-
How Much Can You Sell Your Reddit Account For
https://archive.ph/RYMLp
Playerup.com, which is mentioned in the article, sells Twitter accounts too.
You can buy online game accounts, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and other social media accounts, and you can also buy followers, upvotes, etc.
You can even buy Facebook communities...

I've been saying essentially this right out of the gate and the evidence of large amounts of bots being deactivated yesterday confirmed it.
You're pretty much spot on but you're missing one important factor that Twitter knowingly running bots to inflate their user numbers is fraud not only to elon, but to every advertiser that's every use their platform as well as every investor. This opens them up to serious litigation. Class action lawsuits are very effective
It's also a Double Bind within a Double Bind.
The First Double Bind was to put the BoD into a spot where if they accepted Musk's offer, they lost, and if they refused his offer, they lost (the shareholders would have eaten them alive, with lawsuits).
Elon won that one, but as with any Double Bind, he would win either way.
The Second Double Bind is that if it turns out the BoD/Twitter employees lied under oath, they lose. If they lied but they try to cover it up, they'll lose (because they will be caught). If they give up their reasons for lying, they will incriminate (most likely) people who will kill them for testifying against them, and if they do not give up their reasons for lying they will most likely get roasted anyway.
And some others:
If the SEC does its job here, Musk wins. If the SEC does not do its job, Musk gets to roast them, and he hates the SEC due to past shit they've done to him.
If it turns out that Twitter is actually owned and operated by the government, Musk (and all of us) win, as that will be the end of people wanting to go on Twitter. And Gab and/or Truth Social will win.
Also I'm seeing that the EU is now coming out trying to tell Musk he'll need to play by their rules. If they insist, Musk will just stop allowing Twitter to work in those markets and the EU populace will see the tweets in some other fashion, and it will be even clearer that the EU Emperor Has No Clothes. If the EU allows Twitter to function freely, the oligarchy loses.
This is a really good point and sounds like an art of the deal type play.
Also username checks out
Yes, "Art of the Deal".
But, crucially, it's Game Theory.
Musk is clearly interested in systems and systemic thinking. I have high confidence that he is a Game Theorist.
Oh most definitely
Yep!
Especially if it is some ridiculous number of bots like 10-1
On Point
Plausable.
Maybe this, instead of Musk buying Twitter, is why suddenly they've reestablished all of the conservative accounts... they know those aren't bots.
🤔
Personally, I don't think they'd just turn them on that quickly since the deals not final yet. So, it's kinda odd to me. This would make more sense to me. Unless I'm missing something?
They're trying to hide evidence before Elon and his team can see it.
When is it officially a done deal?
In a perfect world... Yes, people would pay for their crimes and justice would be served. Definitely worth striving for this.
🚀
Ok somebody woke up with their head screwed on right! Awesome OP. I hope this is in play. It needs to be. If Musk cares anything about his new toy, the honest value of such is important.
holy crap, Batman - and then merge it with TruthSocial?
I never had a Twit account and I've been stunned at finding out how much of Twitter really was just bots. Was just fake. Not even people. Just manipulated fake garbage that looked like thousands and thousands of actual accounts, but really wasn't anything at all.
If there is an honest judge to take the case, maybe people really WILL go to jail. And maybe some others will have their eyes opened at last about how much they've been manipulated and lied to by the Left.
I like how you think!
Or... That was the bargaining chip he threw in to buy the company, as they were being compelled to sell, and conceding on this point is the olive branch needed to end negotiations.
Do you mean a tax write off due to business losses? And then sell his shares to dwac?
I'm trying to follow you, but I'm a little confused by the wording
Scenario: So due to my due diligence, I found that you lied about manipulating the algo. I also found that you grossly over-stated the sub count.
So now I am rescinding my offer because my offer was based upon conditions I have found to not exist. And, when I walk, your stock is going to tank to near zero. Or, you can accept my revised offer, which is now $8Bn.
Then buy it for $8Bn, and if you like, turn around and sell it to DWAC for $1, or merge with DWAC, or merge with Torba/Gab, etc.
It's not about the money. It's about Justice.
Gotcha...
Sidenote, torba is a 🤡
He seems to be doing a good impression of a conservative Christian.
But 1. I haven't gone deep on him in any way, and 2. I am always a skeptical sort....
Remember, a social media platform is worth money depending on how many human beings are on it. That's so merchants can sell ads to the humans. Bots don't read ads and buy stuff.
No, this is like showing a buyer a picture of your pasture that has 100 cows in it.
The buyer offers you a good price for the pasture with 100 cows. You take the money and run.
Then the buyer arrives and finds out that of the 100 cows, only 12 were real and the rest were cardboard cutouts. You lied about how many cows you really had and massively cheated the buyer.
That's what Twitter did to Elon. Instead of cows made of cardboard, they had users made of bytes. Totally fake in both cases.
Must be why the bots immediately got turned off.
Still might not be enough for twitter to maintain its value
This is a brilliant prediction. I hope it turns out to be prophetic.
I agree,and their were many billions of puts on twitter,that just got canceled.
Some evil fuks just lost a ton of money I betl
I’m salivating at the thought!
Reminds me of this Q post:
GREAT CATCH
Highly intelligent thought 😳👍👍👍
What happened to Putin / Ukraine? Hahahaha, the world just forgot about it because Elon is buying Twitter. That's how you know it was propaganda.
Anybody else realize that Elon can now read EVERYONE'S DM's? Specifically the deep states? New source of evidence incoming?
No, that would be a gross violation of Twitter's service agreement and grounds for prosecution on a massive scale.
The official privacy documentation describes all of the ways they might potentially process direct messages, but reading them is not one of them. They are scanned for links which get shortened, for spam as a preventative measure (reporting to you if they find something) and they warn that any messages you send may be shared by the user on the other end. Direct messages are considered private and Twitter could be sued, and has been on occasion, if there's any potential for that privacy to have been violated.
Numbers inflated actual stock price manipulated.
Here's what I still don't get: if Twitter really was the valuable propaganda outlet that we believe it was, then why did they agree to sell it to Musk? Wouldn't they have just buried it and ignored it like everything else?
What if Twitter was already secured by white hats even before Elon's bid?
It is my understanding they had no choice due to US trade laws and knew the shareholders could and would sue them into oblivion if they turned down his offer. (But honestly I have zero authority in this arena, just repeating what I have heard.)
100% agree.
I dont think this would have happened so quickly or at a 38% premium if Musk thought he would actually have to pay full price
I am sure this was memory holed but Devin Nunes is suing Twitter:
https://thefederalist.com/2019/10/08/devin-nunes-lawsuit-against-twitter-could-turn-into-the-companys-worst-nightmare/
Court Document: http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2019/images/03/19/nunes.lawsuit.pdf
Not sure how this fits in the grand scheme of things, but might be relevant in the future.
That would be fucking world class. We can see the bot farms are shutting down and heading for the hills.
🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Amazing.
So that’s why they are furiously deleting bots? Hmmm. People have noticed. Can’t erase that.
That would be AMAZING IF DWAC purchased!!
